Productive use of Loady for stable, automatable logistics processes in just a few steps
Companies start with Loady from different starting situations. Some integrate Loady deeply into their logistics processes and systems. Others initially use Loady primarily to share their logistics requirements with partners in a structured way. In both cases, the goal is the same: Create a reliable, structured data basis so that logistics processes work with less manual coordination. The difference lies primarily in the amount of data and the degree of system integration.
Typical project phases when introducing Loady
Regardless of scope, many implementations follow a similar process.
1. Evaluation and project definition
Definition of target image, scope and relevant data sets.
2. Data analysis and preparation
Analysis of existing data sources (ERP, TMS, CRM, documents, free texts).
3. Data onboarding and structuring
Transfer of logistics requirements into the Loady data structure.
4. User empowerment and training
Introduction of relevant teams to the use of Loady.
5. Integration into operational processes
Use of data in tenders, planning, scheduling or location processes.
6. Productive use and development
Extension of use along logistics processes.

desired integration into existing systems
Two introductory scenarios:
With and without integration
Share loading or unloading requirements and driver briefings in multiple languages & use ePLR Check
Typical for:
- smaller industrial companies
- Warehouses or logistics terminals
- Sites without complex system integration
- Companies that want to test Loady and initially share their requirements in a simple and structured way
- Smaller chemical expeditions
Here, Loady is primarily used as a structured information platform.
Typical steps include:
- online introduction to using Loady
- Independent creation of relevant location, loading and unloading information
- Structuring logistics requirements
- Create links or QR codes to share with carriers and drivers
- Carrying out ePLR checks
Even without system integration, companies are already benefiting from:
- clearly structured logistics requirements
- multilingual online views
- easy transfer to logistics partners

Integrate Loady data and functions into logistics processes and make them available automatically
Typical for:
- manufacturing industrial companies
- Companies with many products and locations
- complex supply chains with numerous customer requirements
- Organizations with an existing ERP, TMS or yard system landscape
In these cases, Loady is usually introduced as part of the existing logistics and master data architecture.
Typical contents of such a project are:
- Onboarding of locations and loading points
- Structuring products and product categories
- Acceptance of customer delivery requirements
- Definition of transport requirements along transport lanes
- Illustration of special requirements (e.g. temperature requirements or pre-charge restrictions)
Since much of this information is already partly available in ERP, TMS or CRM systems, integration into existing master data structures is often useful.
After building up the data base, many companies are expanding the use of Loady to operational processes, for example:
- Freight tenders
- Freight orders
- Yard management processes
- Driver briefings and operational communication
This introduction is typically carried out as a structured project process with several phases.
Integration pays off — this is how companies benefit:
- Seamless digital logistics processes
- More performance even with smaller teams
- Fewer inquiries, less effort in data preparation and communication
- More planning security
The structured onboarding process
Companies can onboard their data in Loady themselves and enter, upload and integrate their logistics requirements for locations, products and customers via API.
Especially when it comes to customer requirements and pre-load restrictions, our customers often opt for methodical and AI-supported help to save their staff time and effort and to ensure high data quality.
In doing so, our approach follows a clear process:
How fast will your Company benefit from Loady?
Simple Setup – no Integration
- Onboard your loading and unloading requirements
- Manage low complexity of product-specific requirements / reduced number of products or product types
- Enable suppliers and logistics partners to access the data
Medium Setup – with Integration
- Onboard your loading and unloading requirements
- Onboard the unloading requirements of your customers
- Manage moderate complexity in product requirements
- Integrate external warehouse logistics
- Enable suppliers and logistics partners to access the data
- 1–2 integrations into logistics systems
- User onboarding within one business unit
More complex industrial environment
- Manage both your own logistics requirements and those of customers
- Handle diverse product- or customer-specific requirements
- Manage extensive previous load restrictions for liquid products
- Integrate external warehouse logistics incuding tank terminals
- Integrate with eProcurement, ERP, TMS, eCommerce or yard management systems
- Onboard different user groups across multiple business units
Loady customers confirm
“The implementation of new functions and improvements to existing features makes it much easier for us to maintain data on Loady. By integrating with other systems and introducing CSV mass uploads, we have been able to reduce the effort required to initially maintain a data set by 80-90%. Loady thus enables us to increase the quality of our loading and unloading requirements very efficiently. ”
